Food and nonalcoholic beverages (38.5% of total weight), transportation (12.5%), housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuel (11.6%), clothing and footwear (8.3%), and furnishings, housing equipment, and routine maintenance of the house (6.3%) are the most significant categories in the NCPI. Communication (5.6% of total weight), restaurants and hotels (4.2%), alcoholic beverages and tobacco (3.7%), miscellaneous goods and services (3.1%), health (2.9%), recreation and culture (1.6%), and education (1.5%) are also included in the index.
